Abstract
Various embodiments generally may relate to Load Balancing Optimization (LBO) and Mobility Robustness Optimization (MRO). Some embodiments of this disclosure are directed to the following 5G SON solutions: use cases and requirements for the management of distributed LBO and centralized LBO; procedures for the management of distributed LBO and centralized LBO; and management services and information needed to support the management of distributed LBO and centralized LBO.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- memory to store load-related measurements for a plurality of new radio (NR) cells;
- and
- processor circuitry, coupled with the memory, to:
- retrieve the load-related measurements from the memory;
- determine, based on the load-related measurements, that load distribution optimization is necessary;
- and
- execute, based on determining that load distribution optimization is necessary, a load balancing optimization (LBO) function, wherein executing the LBO function includes changing one or more LBO parameters to optimize traffic load distributions among neighboring NR cells.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are to cause a next-generation NodeB (gNB) to:
- collect load-related measurements for a plurality of new radio (NR) cells;
- determine, based on the load-related measurements, that load distribution optimization is necessary;
- and
- execute, based on determining that load distribution optimization is necessary, a load balancing optimization (LBO) function, wherein executing the LBO function includes changing one or more LBO parameters to optimize traffic load distributions among neighboring NR cells.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are to cause a next-generation NodeB (gNB) to:
- receive a request to enable a load balancing optimization (LBO) function from a management services (MnS) consumer of a centralized self-organizing network (C-SON);
- in response to receiving the request, enable the LBO function;
- collect load-related measurements for a plurality of new radio (NR) cells;
- determine, based on the load-related measurements, that load distribution optimization is necessary;
- and
- execute, based on determining that load distribution optimization is necessary, the LBO function, wherein executing the LBO function includes changing one or more LBO parameters to optimize traffic load distributions among neighboring NR cells.
